Megan Briant

Whet your appetite with a freshly squeezed juice – we recommend the apple, celery, and ginger, or the apple, beetroot, and orange. Then, settle in for a comforting homemade potato rösti with lightly smoked trout, soft whipped herb cheese and a soft poached egg, or old-fashioned grilled farm style sausage in a rich tomato ‘smoor’ with buttered toast.

There is a multitude of these type of eateries which allows one to eat as your level of hunger prescribes.
Thank you for a very welcome service

Mega Marconato

We love having our breakfast at the newly open branch of Trecastelli at the beach front in Blauuberg. Amazing pastries such as Canolli, Cornetto con crema aka Croissant with fresh cream and freshly ground Coffee! A must try when in the area

Darren

Nina

We really struggled to find 88 on Shortmarket. Apart from a number on a dark wall, there was no visible sign. Therefore we were later than intended whilst searching up and down this road. They had closed the breakfast kitchen at 10.45 and were unwilling to put in a last order, despite us travelling far upon the recommendation of this article. They appear more interested in lunch clientele. So…don’t bother with them for breakfast.

Ashleigh

The Cape Town Company Gardens dies an amazing french toast. It’s basted banana bread in egg, with crispy bacon and marscopone cheese, served with syrup and strawberries on the side. My fav…mmmmmmm. Thanks for the above recommendations.

Veronica Adamou

Sonja / the Larder

Firstly thank you Stefani for your lovely comments! Yay! We are delighted you found our neighborhood spot!

Inside guide, we’d love you to visit! We have 2 branches. One in DIEP River & one in Claremont. Ingredients are locally sourced, seasonal and free range. We specialize in breakfast & coffee, we use bean there ethically sourced coffees. Life is too short for bad coffee right?

Helen

Stefani

One of our favourites is The Larder in Claremont. They open super early, so are ideal for a cappuccino take-away if you know you’re going to be sitting in traffic (they make a mean cappuccino). Try the Johnny Depp (poached eggs, crispy bacon and roasted cherry tomatoes with hollandaise), or the Banga Banga (muesli and yoghurt with a difference) if you’re looking for a healthier alternative. They have fantastic pasteis de nata, carrot cake, and cinnamon buns too.

Sonja / the Larder

Hi Stephani thank you so much for your comment I just saw now! I really appreciate it! Did you know we have another branch in Block & Chisel too? We are so glad you found our little spot!! Hope to see you again soon!! Kind regards

Sarah Beamish

Silvermist Eatery just over Constantia Nek needs a mention. Serves amazing breakfasts and the view is breathtaking. You can linger and do Silvermidt wine tasting and have very interesting Cheese Boards! Even a fire for chilly mornings! Love it there!!
